Portal 2

I decided to make a bunch of the posters seen in the game Portal 2, if you haven't played it through yet there might be spoilers, so stop reading now.

I'm most of the way done with this "Paradoxes" poster:

The problem is, I can't seem to track down the correct font. I thought it was one of the arials at first, but it turns out PS CS2 only has a couple of those, and neither of them are it. I tried Identifont.com and got a bunch of fonts that look even less like it. Can anybody help?
 
Sorry Risu

I take a look at the fonts i have on CorelDraw but didn´t find an exact match. It´s definately no Ariel type.

By the way, you know you need 3 different fonts for the sign ?

I've been toying around with the idea of doing some of the pages of Chell's folder from the Lab Rat comic. I've got Garry's Mod and Portal, so making a picture of Chell shouldn't be too hard.
 
I think the "KNOW YOUR PARADOXES" and "IN THE EVENT OF ROGUE AI" is Univers 57 Condensed
The "stand still, remain calm, scream" is Univers 67 Condensed Bold
The Paradox examples are Futura Medium Oblique
Hope this helps

I wouldn't say the end of the dream. A project I've been working on involves recreating a set of labels from a industrial gadget from the 80s... because I didn't know the font I've had to find close substitutes.

You can either find some close substitutes, trace over the letters in the image... or see if someone has the font you need without incurring that rediculous cost.
 
Here's what I came up with using other Univers and Futura fonts:

Wow that above poster looks great! Not sure if you still need to ID the fonts or not but there are some great aps for iphone
 
That looks pretty good. The screen shot I posted before is heavily tinted due to the environment though. The "Know your paradoxes" text should be white, and you can base the rest of it off of that. I'm also trying to make my version 300 DPI at about 36" wide.
 
This is Cave Johnson, coming to you from Aperture Labs. Everyone has to participate in a routine psychological Q&A to determine if you are more than capable at being a willing participant in the experiments at Aperture Labs. Look this test subject information below. Wow, refused to answer the question. Must have a lot of guts for it. Anyways, we take the following information, input it into our GLaDOS, who determines if a subject is capable of running the gauntlet that we put our subjects through. So, if you wish to participate, by all means, sign up and be prepared to find out if you meet the physical and mental requirements.

Cave Johnson here, we're done.


Note: This page is inspired by the one featured in the Lab Rat comic. Used original character model for the picture, created in Garry's Mod.
